To aZZ wwm 'it ma/y concern.:

Be it known that I, .WILBUR A. SNYDER, a citizen of the United States, residingl at Montoursville, in the county of Lycomin and State of Pennsylvania, have lnventey certain new and useful Improvements in Coin or Ticket Holders, of which the following is a specification, reference being had to the accompanyi fr drawings.

This invention re ates to new and useful improvements in holders and more particularly to a holder adapted to be detachably secured to a milk bott-le or other receptacle, e the object of the invention being to rovide a simple and inexpensive device for olding a coin, ticket 0r other token land which 1n turn is detachably secured lto the bottle or other container in which milk, cream, water and the like are delivered to the consumer.

Heretofore i-t has been usual for the consumer to leave the ticket'in or opposite the bottle, when left lying opposite the bottle, the ticket is liable to be blown away, and when placed in a wet bottle difficulty is experienced by the milk ,man in removing vthe ticket. A ticket thus left in av wet bottle is damaged and its period 'of usefulness shortened,

A further object of the invention is to provide a holder of the above character which not only serves the pu ose of holdshown at l0 so that the supporting member ing the coins, tickets, etc., but 1s also adapt.- ed for use in signifying to the deliver man the amount of cream, milk, etc., which 1s desired by the consumer.

Another object of the invention is to provide a holder of the above character which will possess advantages in points of efficiency and durability, is inexpensive to manufacture and at the same time is simple in construction and operation.

With the above and other objects in View, the invention consists in the novel features of construction and the combinationand arrangementof parts hereinafter more fully described, pointed out in the claims and shown in the accompanying drawings in which,

Figure l is a perspective view of a holder constructed in accordance with my invenn tion, parts being broken away and in section. Fig. 2 is a side elevation. Fig. 3 is a detail horizontal sectional view, and Fi 4 is a detail perspective view of the contalner of the receptacle.

Referring more particularly to the draw- ,portion thereof.

ings, 1 indicates the receptacle. which may be constructed of leather, metall or other suitable material, said rece tacle being suitably supported by means o the wire bracket 2. The racket 2 is constructed of a single length of wire bent intermediate of its ends as shown at 3 and having its ends bent upon lthemselves to form the elongated loops '1, the extreme ends of said wire being then twlsted upon the bodyportion as shown at 5 and secured thereto 'at the intermediate Each of the elongated loops 4 are provided upon one side thereof with an eye 6, said lootps being rigidly secured to the end walls o -the receptacle l by means of the rivets 7 said rivets passing through the end walls of the receptacle and through the eyes 6. Loosely secured to the4 upper end of the bracket 2 by means of the metal link 8 is a supporting member 9 which comprises a sin le ngth of wire bent intermediate of its en s to form a recessed portion 10 which is arranged in one end of the link 8, the ends of said wire extending outwardly therefrom in spaced relation. The outer ends of the wire which comprise the supporting member are bent in opposite directions to form the oppositely disposed hook members 11.

It will be noticed that the side portions of the member 9 are curved outwardly as may be clamped around the neck of a milk bottle or other similar receptacle, while the hooks 11 are to be used for suspending the.

receptacle from a pail, jar, can or other similar receptacle.

The receptacle l is provided on each side i .thereof with a character, the character upon one side ofthe receptacle indicating to the deliveryman that the consumer desires a quart of milk, cream or the like, while the character on the opposite side of the receptacle indicates to thefdeliveryman that the consumer desires a pint of milk, cream or the like, the consumer placing a sutlicient supply of change or tickets within the receptacle to assure the deliveryman of the :correct amount which is desired. Thus it will be seen that by the arrangement of the oppositely disposed hooks 11, the receptacle 1 may be detachably secured to a container and the character which represents the amount desired by the consumer will be visible to t-he deliveryman. If it should happen that the consumer desires more than a quart, enough change or tickets will be placed in the receptacle acording to the Idesired amount which is wanted.

in construction and inexpensive to manu-- facture.

While I have shown and described the preferred form of my invention, it will be obvious that various changes in the details of construction and in the proportions may be resorted to for successfully carryin my invention into practice without sacri cing any of the novel features or departing from the scope thereof.

What I claim is 1. In a device of the character described, the combination of a receptacle of substantially rectangular shape, a supporting bracket having its ends arranged within the receptacle and secured thereto, a supporting element loosely secured to the bracket, and

oppositely disposed hook members formed integral with the supporting element whereby the receptacle may be detachably s'uspended from any suitable support.

2. In a device of the character described, the combination of a receptacle of substantially rectangular shape, a bracket comprising a single length of wire bent .at its intermediate portion and having its ends bent upon themselves to form elongated loops which, are disposed within the receptacle,

the extreme ends of said wire being twisted upon the body portion and secured at the 3. In a device of the character described,"

the combination of a receptacle of substantially rectangular shape, a bracket comprising a single length of Wire bent upon itself and having its ends bent to form elongated loops, the extreme ends of said Wire bein twisted upon the body portion and secure at the intermediate portion thereof, one side of each of said loops being provided with an eye, rivets passing through said eyes and through the end Walls of the receptacle to rigidly secure the receptacle to the bracket, a support-ing element, a link loosely connecting the supporting element with the bracket, said receptacle being provided upon each face thereof with a character, and oppositely disposed hooks formed upon said supporting element whereby the receptacle may be suspended from a support to disclose the character upon either side thereof.

In testimony whereof I hereunto affix my signature in the presence of twol witnesses.
